Annotation

'Why should we care about philosophy?'Public philosophy, or 'doing philosophy' in the community, is an important and growing trend revealed not only by the phenomenon of the Parisian philosophy caf , but also the contemporary rise of multiple grassroots projects, for example the Philosophy in Pubs movement. This book is the first to offer academic examination of the theoretical contributions and practical applications of community philosophy.Bringing together voices from diverse contexts and subject areas, from activism and political action to religious environments, arts organisations and museums to maximum security prisons, this collection asks key questions about the point of making philosophy available for everyone: 'How do you do philosophy with the public?'; 'Is philosophy in the community the same as academic philosophy?'; 'Why is community philosophy important?'Including contributions from practitioners and researchers from professional philosophy, education, healthcare, and community philosophy, this collection offers perspectives on a growing area of study. It offers a timely and critical introduction to, and analysis of, what philosophy can be when grounded in socially-engaged activities.
